"You just realized that?!" Lin Ruoxuan looked down on Lin Ruofei. "People who are all brawn and no brains are just slow to think!"

"You're something else! If you were something else, would you have been able to find our home?!" Lin Ruofei pushed Lin Ruoxuan hard, almost knocking him over, and then said, "Let's go ask someone else? As long as we know what year it is, we should be able to remember where our home is."

"You want to go out on the street and ask strangers what year it is? Aren't you afraid they'll think you're crazy?!" Lin Ruoxuan said to Lin Ruofei with a smile, "Just tell me you're wearing a watch?"

Lin Ruofei looked at both wrists and then replied, "I don't have a watch."

"I don't have a watch either," Lin Ruoxuan said, shaking his wrist.

"What does it mean if I don't have a watch?" Lin Ruofei asked, puzzled.

"Fool!" Lin Ruoxuan laughed. "Your reaction is really slow. If we don't have watches, how are we supposed to tell the time?!"

"A cell phone!" Lin Ruofei exclaimed suddenly, "There's a calendar on the cell phone, you can tell what year it is at a glance!"

"So stupid!" Lin Ruoxuan grabbed the backpack from his shoulder and started looking through it.

"But I don't have my phone on me!" Lin Ruofei searched around for a long time but couldn't find her phone.

"Found it!" Lin Ruoxuan shouted, pulling out a basic feature phone with buttons from his backpack.

"Sigh, it's been so long since I've seen this kind of old-fashioned phone..." Lin Ruofei couldn't help but sigh as she recalled the era when smartphones were widely used before her rebirth.

Lin Ruoxuan glanced at the screen on his phone a few times, then handed it to Lin Ruofei: "Garfield, take a look!"

Lin Ruofei took the phone, and saw that the screen clearly displayed: July 15, 2011.

"Brother! We've actually been reborn back to 10 years ago!!" Lin Ruofei exclaimed in surprise, gripping her phone tightly with both hands.

"Give me back my phone right now! Don't get so worked up that you throw it on the ground again!"

"Brother, you were born in 1993, so you'll be 18 in 2011. I was born in 1998, so I'll be..."

"Hey sis, congratulations!" Lin Ruoxuan said with a smile. "You've accidentally turned back into a child. You look so much younger!"

"So, does that mean I'm a 13-year-old girl now?!" Lin Ruofei's mouth remained open for a long time.

“My father had his accident in 2012, so if we calculate it that way, our family should still be living in the villa area on Donghuan Road.” Lin Ruoxuan looked around carefully, trying to find the way home as soon as possible from her memory.

Lin Ruofei remained silent for a long time, then suddenly jumped up from her chair and ran out in a flash.

"Garfield, do you remember where your home is?" Lin Ruoxuan hurriedly stood up from his chair, wanting to follow Lin Ruofei.

"Xiao Xuanxuan, sit here and wait for me!" Lin Ruofei shouted back as she ran, "I'm going to the hospital to get my schoolbag that I left behind!"

When Lin Ruofei and her brother Lin Ruoxuan finally stood at their doorstep after a long and arduous journey, they felt a sense of déjà vu.

"Brother," Lin Ruofei said softly, gazing at the impressive two-story building before her, "I've forgotten what it's like to live here!"

"Garfield, actually, considering our circumstances, we could be considered rich kids back then!" Lin Ruoxuan adjusted his glasses and smiled at Lin Ruofei, saying, "What are we waiting for?! Let's go in and eat, drink, and have fun!" After saying that, Lin Ruoxuan shouted and rushed into the villa's yard.

"Little Xuanxuan, wait for me!" Lin Ruofei laughed and ran inside after her...

Lin Ruofei was so happy not because she was finally back to living the life of a rich person, but because her family of four could live happily together again. In Lin Ruofei's opinion, nothing in this world is more important than family reunion!

Lin Ruoxuan rang the doorbell for a long time before the door was finally opened.

"Why are you two back so soon? Didn't you go to your tutoring class?! Ah... Xiao Xuanxuan, what happened to your head? Why is it wrapped in gauze?! Is it serious?!" The person who opened the door was none other than Lin Ruofei's mother, He Meizhen.

"So Mom was once so young and elegant!" Lin Ruofei couldn't help but sigh in her heart as she looked at the astonished He Meizhen.

At this time, He Meizhen was not yet forty years old. Because she took good care of herself, there were no obvious wrinkles on her face. Her skin looked particularly delicate and fair against the backdrop of the light yellow silk loungewear she was wearing.

"Honestly, I washed off my face mask just now so I could open the door for you two, and all I got was this upsetting!" He Meizhen complained as she walked over to check on Lin Ruoxuan's head injury.

The thought of her mother being exhausted for the next ten years because of her father's wrongful imprisonment, and having to walk to a cheap market two stops away to buy vegetables that were a few cents cheaper per pound in order to save money on her children's tuition, and how her mother, who loved beauty so much at the moment, would not buy a new piece of clothing for several years in the future because of financial difficulties... Thinking of all this, Lin Ruofei suddenly felt very sorry for her mother.

"Mom!" Lin Ruofei rushed to He Meizhen and hugged her tightly, tears streaming down her face.

"Feifei, stop pretending to cry," He Meizhen said sternly. "You're the one who hurt Xiaoxuan's head again, aren't you?! How many times have I told you to be careful when you're playing with your brother, but you just don't listen and always hurt him!"

"Mom..." At this moment, Lin Ruofei hugged He Meizhen tightly, unable to utter a single word.

"Mom, thank you for your hard work!" Lin Ruoxuan, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but open his arms and hug He Meizhen tightly.

“Xiao Xuanxuan, it’s not that Mommy is scolding you,” He Meizhen said, though she was a little breathless from being hugged by Lin Ruofei and Lin Ruoxuan, she still managed to scold Lin Ruoxuan: “You’re a man, how can you always let your younger sister bully you?! You need to grow stronger, because the family will need you to support them in the future…”

"Mom, don't worry!" Lin Ruoxuan said firmly, "In the future, I will never let you and Dad suffer again!"

"I will do my best to protect Mom and Dad and not let anyone bully you!" Lin Ruofei followed up with a serious promise.

"I said..." Seeing the brother and sister so emotional, He Meizhen was somewhat at a loss. She tried to pull them away from her, but couldn't budge them for a long time. "What are you two doing..."

"What's going on with you three standing at the door?" a voice asked with a laugh behind Lin Ruofei.

"Honey, you're back just in time!" He Meizhen said hurriedly as soon as she saw him. "Quickly pull your precious son and daughter away from me, they've wiped their snot all over my new clothes!"

“Dad…” Lin Ruofei turned her head and saw her father, whom she had not seen for more than ten years.

At this time, her father, Lin Fushou, was a radiant, slightly overweight, and successful businessman in his early forties, a stark contrast to the emaciated Lin Fushou that Lin Ruofei had seen in the intensive care unit.

"Xiao Xuanxuan got his head broken by Feifei again?!" Lin Fushou asked with a frown, "What happened this time that caused this?"

"father!"

"father!"

After Lin Ruofei and Lin Ruoxuan simultaneously released He Meizhen, they shouted in unison and hugged Lin Fushou together.

Lin Fushou was immediately at a loss.

"Wife, what's wrong with these two kids?" Lin Fushou asked He Meizhen, puzzled.

He Meizhen spread her hands and shook her head, indicating that she was also puzzled.

After Lin Fushou discussed it for a long time, Lin Ruofei and Lin Ruoxuan finally let go of each other's hands.

"Feifei, you mustn't bully your brother again next time! There's a limit to how much you can play around!" After scolding Lin Ruofei sternly, Lin Fushou turned to He Meizhen and said, "I'm going to the airport this afternoon to pick up an important client. I'll change my clothes and leave when I get back."

"What time is your flight?" He Meizhen asked. "If you have enough time, let's grab a bite to eat before you leave!"

"It's too late," Lin Fushou said as he walked into the house. "The plane will land in two hours, and it takes more than an hour to drive to the airport. Let's eat when we get back!"

"Then take two slices of cake I just baked!" He Meizhen hurriedly followed her in, "Have something to eat first."

The two walked into the house together, ignoring Lin Ruofei and Lin Ruoxuan standing outside the door.

“Brother,” Lin Ruofei turned to look at Lin Ruoxuan and sighed sincerely, “It feels so good to be a family together!”

"Feifei, our life will be better from now on!" Lin Ruoxuan patted Lin Ruofei on the shoulder and said firmly.

“Absolutely!!” Lin Ruofei nodded in agreement.

"Let's go home now!" Lin Ruoxuan said, then took Lin Ruofei's hand and they walked into the villa together...

That night, at Lin Ruofei's insistence, Lin Fushou and He Meizhen reluctantly agreed to let Lin Ruofei squeeze between them to sleep.

Lin Ruofei hadn't slept so soundly in a long time. She didn't have to worry about oversleeping and being late to deliver milk in the morning, because her family's financial situation meant she no longer needed to work to supplement their income. She also didn't have to worry about her mother waking up in the middle of the night with leg cramps, because her mother was still young and in good health. Her dreams wouldn't be nightmares anymore, because she was surrounded not only by her mother's warm love but also her father's deep love. She realized that her father had never abandoned them, never...

Just as Lin Ruofei was having one sweet dream after another, she suddenly heard someone talking to her in a daze:

"Garfield, the sun's already shining on your butt, aren't you getting up? Let me see if you, this 'minor,' have wet the bed..."
